Answer:

Shown below.

Explanation:

How can you multiply a whole number and a fraction?

To multiply a whole number and a fraction, you can think of it as repeated addition. For example, if you want to multiply 5 and
(1)/(4), it means adding the fraction
(1)/(4) five times:
(1)/(4) +(1)/(4) +(1)/(4) +(1)/(4) +(1)/(4) =(5)/(4).

If you add
(3)/(4) by itself 4 times:


  • (3)/(4)+ (3)/(4)+ (3)/(4)+ (3)/(4)=(12)/(4)

Now, you can divide 3 by 4 to get
(3)/(4).

  • 3 ÷ 4 =
    (3)/(4)

This is how you can solve 4 ×
(3)/(4) using multiplication and division.
